Ballykissangel: A Sense Of Place

From the hit TV series created by Kieran Prenderville, one of the funniest shows to come out of Ireland in years, filmed on location in Avoca, Co. Wicklow. As ever, life in the rural Irish town of Ballykissangel is anything but humdrum. Peter Clifford is still finding his feet among the colourful cast of locals whose antics never cease to amaze him. Wheeler-dealer Brian Quigley is rigging a beauty contest. There's a spate of gold prospecting watched over by a Blessed Virgin with an electric heart. A young widow is in Quigley's sauna with an aging cleric, and two strangers are putting the fear of God into the whole town. There are newcomers, too: fading rock star Enda Sullivan has designs on Assumpta Fitzgerald and Con O'Neill's just a tearaway until he handles Guard Egan's violin. And who's the sexy brunette living with ancient hill-farmer Eamonn Byrne? Life continues at a cracking pace and Father Mac, the parish priest, disapproves as much as ever.
